Not What They Were Expecting by Neal Doran
A maybe-gay dad, a sacked husband, and an oversharing mother-in-law. Rebecca has more on her mind than having a baby.

When Rebecca and James announced their baby news, they thought the next nine months would be the beginning of a great adventure. But then James loses his job, and he can't find another and can't tell his wife why. Meanwhile Rebecca's own family has picked the worst possible time to start to fall apart, with her strait-laced dad arrested for soliciting a cop, and relying on lawyer Rebecca to convince the courts it wasn't a major fall out of the closet.

As secrets begin to permeate their lives, Rebecca and James end up wondering are they really ready to be parents after all.

But it's too late now - and the expectant couple are about to learn that life doesn't always turn out quite as you expect it.
